PREFACE. 

The author has been prompted to write this little volume 
knowing that there is little in our educational literature that 
is of any direct help to the inexperienced teacher to teach a 
special subject. Some of our scientific treatises lack the first 
element of science, viz., simplicit}', so that they are of no 
use to young teachers, and some are mere outlines, giving 
only a scientific arrangement of the subject matter, which are 
nothing better than what is given in connection with most 
text- books on history. We hope to be able to give to the 
young teacher a brief and clear exposition of the principles 
of teaching history and also a limited selection of methods 
in connection with outlines and exercises as examples. 

The Author. 



SOME PRINCIPLES OF TEACHINO HISTORY. 



READ CAREFULLY, PRACTICE DAILY. 

1. Lead from the hwivn to the unknown. 

This principle should be observed in teaching history as 
well as ill geography or any other stud}' because we can only 
see with the light (knowledge) we already have. Liffht comes 
first from a luminous source, then later on, after it has illum- 
ined something it may come also from an illumined source. 

Note.— Teach incidents in the history of the localit}' where the 
school is situated. 

Caution.— Be careful to avoid gossip or scandalous incidents. 

2. laterest and arouse cariosity first., then thought. 
Interest is always, and in the beginning especially, the 

" water of life," that arouses the mind to thought and sets 
the tongue to floAving. 

If your class is dull it is because their hearts have not been 
kindled into fire by a well told historical incident. 

Note. — Select the veiy best striking occurrences in your own 
town first, then county and state, 

3. History should he the story and every story history. 
This means that history is to be begun and continued as 

story telling for several months and then occasionally. 
^'Children learn largely by hnitation,'^ hence they will readily 
become good story tellers by imitating their teacher. The 



4 SCIENCE AND AKT OF TEACHING UNITED STATES HISTORY. 

great aim in history teaching sliould be to teach to tliiok and 
tell and tell and think. 

Note 1. — Stories of great events in our country's history. 
Note 2.— Biographical stories that are full of grandeur. 

4. The exercises should he of such a nature as to stimulate 
and cuhivate the 7nind, not blurr and dull. 

If our pupils act dull, it is a pretty sure sign that they are 
being dulled, and the only remedy is to wake them up. 
There are plenty of methods; the fault is our own if we do 
not succeed. 

5. I'each one thing at a time. 

This means teach one point at a timCj and from point to 
point until a topic is mastered, theu from toi)ic to topic until 
the whole subject is mastered. This gives the student a clear 
and also comprehensive view of a subject with a relation of 
all its parts. 

This is the capital argument for the topical method of 
teaching history. 

6. Be assured, that the student has correct and clear ideas. 
(aj Thoughts are made up of ideas in proper order. 

(b) Words are the signs of ideas. 

(c) Impressions that are well made on the mind and are 
recallable, are ideas. 

(d) Thoughts put together in a certain way lead one to 
make a conclusion. 

The above will lead any one to see at a glance the impor- 
tance of correct impressions, and the knowing of the correct 
meaning of words that occur in a lesson. Students fre- 
quently cannot get the thought in a discourse because they 
do not know the ideas that some of the words represent. 

7. See to it that students fonn correct conclusions or judij- 
ments. 

This may be done in several ways. One of the best ways is 
to separate or break up the chain of thought and discover the 
comparison of thoughts that leads to our conclusion, and see 



S(Jlli-NCK AND AKT OV TEACHING UNITED STATES IIISTOKV. 

wiietber all parts are tiiie. This application of our minds to 
historical subjects, we call the philosoph}'^ of history. 

8. Seek an equal development of all the faculties of the mind. 
Develop faculties that are neglected. Attention of this 

kind is absolutel3^ necessary to make powerful and successful 
minds. 

9. History has its special mission in mind development. 
1st. To get ivleas, thoughts and conclusions on historical 

subjects and the cousequent power of the mind to judge, 
form concepts, and reason. 

2d. To retain and recall useful knowledge. We probably 
alwa3's retain, whether directly conscious of the fact or not, 
but it is very difficult for many to recall what they have 
learned. The power of recalling, which is one of the most 
desirable that we can possess, depends on the mind's power to 
associate ideas, thoughts, conclusions, dates, &c. 

The power of association should receive 'special attention. 
Minds noted for great memory ahvays have this power great- 
ly developed. 

10. Lore of purity, fistke and liberty should receive much 
attention. 

The feelings as vvell as the intellect must be developed. 
'' One half of the time nov/ spent on English grammar at too 
early an age, would be sufficient to teach our children to love 
the republic, and to become its lo3^al and life-long support- 
ers." — Garfield. 

11. A desire to act and act right as a citizen. 

The student should at first be impelled by interest, later 
on, more and more by liis own resolve. 

12- Ifte ktud;i of history and government must develop the 
citizen and. patriot of the future- 

Greek children were taught to admire the virtues of their 
ancestors, the Romans to worship their heroes and the grand- 
eur of Rome, so must ours learn to admire the deeds of our 
.great Americans.

great ways. 

Read only for a variety. 

1. How our land was found.

DIRECTIONS 

1. Read or tell a story once in a while that they know a 
little about, avoiding the name of the hero of the story, 
name of battle or war, or the name of the event. Then have 
them tell you who or what 3^ou were talking about. 

2, Use libraries or primary histories to get stories from. 
Most readers give some very good ones. 



METHODS, OUTLINES AND DIRECTIONS. 



UPPER FORM COURSE. 

1. Maps should always be in use with every lesson. 

2. Locate every ])lace mentioned in each lesson. 

3. Trace every explorer on the map. 

13. Time and Place are the eyes of History. 

Fixing the time and place lead to a better understanding 
of events. This does not mean that the student should learn 
a great lot of nnimi)ortant dates and places, but every event 
must stand in its proper time and ])]ace in relation to itself 
and to other events. 

14. The mind must be trained to make associations of events 
as to cause, time. ]}lace^ character and results. 

The 14th principle of teaching history if closely adhered 
to is one of the most valuable and useful trainings tliat the 
human mind can be subjected to. 

To be able to associate like causes with like events and 
like events with like causes; the times with their events, events 
with their times; character of persons or events alike or op- 
posite; and the probable or inevitably consequent results; 
this makes the historical mind, the mind that is able to mar- 
shal the proper material for the narration of historical events. 

The power of associating makes a better memory and a 
keener judgment, and above all things a better reasoner.

This is mi axiomatio truth and we as teachers must see to 
il that our pupils form noble ideals of character and action.

the Mississii)pi valle_y, dwelt in cliffs in the South West, in 
caves in the Norih V\^est.

10. The remains of the Monndbuilders are some twenty 
or twenty-five th^onsimd monnds, luimerous broken pottery, 
fish-hooks, fish-traps, stone drills, copper knives, stone-headed 
spears, stone axes and hammers, weaving hooks, copper spear- 
heads, copper mines worked. 

11. Tiie nature of llieir earth- works shows that they were 
warlike, industrious, and probably cannibals. 

12. The Cliff dwellers lived in ancient times as the^' do 
novv in the South West. They v/ere much like the Mound- 
builders, except not so warlike. They dwelt in clilTs where 
by location the}^ were isolated from the more warlike tribes. 

13. The Cave-dwtllers lived in the North West, and are 
now extinct. They were much like the Cliff-dwellers, but 
dwelt in caves and caverns, worshipped the sun and some 
idols, and understood the art of weaving a coarse cloth. 

14. The Historic Astecs were found by the Spaniards in 
Mexico, Central America and Peru. 

15. They were a comparatively peaceful people; had a 
monarchial form of government; had some large cities and 
fine palaces; had good roads and bridges. 

16. Their emperor at the time of the conquest of Mexico 
was Montezuma, His successor was CTuatamozin. 

17. Their houses were built of stone or adobe. 

1 8. In the City of JMexico they had a large temple where 
human beings were sacrificed. The}' w^orshipped idols and 
in Peru the sun. 

19. Some fine works in the art of carving and architecture 
were found in Peru. They were rich in gold, silver, copper 
and precious stones. 

20. Their money in [)art consisted of glass tubes filled 
with grains of gold. 

21. They could weave, work in gold, silver, copper, glass 
and clay. 

22. The cruel Spaniards destroyed nearly all of them for 
their wealth. Their descendants now are quite degenerate 
compared with their forefathers. 

23. Many ruins of fine buildings are still found in Peru, 



(a) Life of the Indian: 



1 2 SCIENCE AND AKT OP^ TEACHING UNITED STATES HISTORY. 

Central America, Yucatan and parts of Mexico, one partly 
broken and dilapidated sphinx in Central America and an 
adobe pyramid of 80 feet in hight in Chihuahua. 

. 24. The Pueblos or Village Indians are still found in 
northern Mexico and the south-western part of the United 
States. They live in large adobe houses, in which from fifty 
to five liundred people make their abode. 

25. Our modern Indian is probably the descendant of the 
Prehistoric Astec. 

26. Indian characteristics: 
In a wigwam. 
Dressed in skins. 
Hunted and fished. 
Squaws did the work. 
Raised corn, beans, melons, to- 
bacco, and some potatoes. 

Cooked, tanned, made and mend- 
ed their clothes. 

(b) They believed in a Good Spirit and an Evil Spirit, and 
a preserver of life they called Manitou. 

(c) They believed in a hereafter with happy hunting- 
grounds. 

27. Where did the Aborigines come from? 

The proper answer is — Where did they come from.^ Some 
of the following answers are probable and are urged by fair 
authority : 

1. Came from Asia across Behring Strait. Some claim that 
about 1300 years ago where Behring Strait is there was an 
isthmus, and the American Continent was then joined to 
Asia. 

2. The Chinese told Gen. Grant in his tour around the 
world, that their history states that 2,200 years ago they dis- 
covered and settled America. 

3. Some say that the lost ten tribes of the Hebrews found 
their way to America. 

4. There was a tradition among the Phoenecians that far 
to the west there was a land the}^ had found and colonized, 
but that it became lost and they could not find it again. 






SCIENCE AND ART OF TEACHING UNITED STATES HISTORY. 13 

5. It is claimed that inscriptions have been found in Cen- 
tral Americn in the Ancient Coptic. 

6. The Ancient Astecs had a tradition of the creation 
much like the Mosaic. 

7. Some claim that the American Indian is a mixed race, 
the descendents of many lost colonies of Asiatic and Euro- 
pean nations. 

There seems to be some semblance of truth in this claim.

The topical method should he the leading method in the study 
of hi story. 

This method is best, because it presents the subject as a 
systematically connected and related whole. A student can- 
not follow this method of study without great benefife. Other 
methods, however, should be used to supplement this method, 
since no one method is perfect in itself alone.
